How Is A-RB Done?
The corrosion resistant component of Stainless Steel is Chromium.
The higher the Chromium content of the Stainless Steel, the
higher the corrosion resistance. However, Chromium is the softest
component of the Stainless Steel. This means, the higher the
Chromium content, the less durable and less smooth the bearing
will be. |
| Shimano’s goal
was to maintain the hardness, durability and smoothness of our
bearings while drastically increasing the corrosion resistance.
To do this, after machining, the presence of Chromium is concentrated
to the surfaces of the bearing. This makes the outer surfaces
of the bearing extremely corrosion resistant, while maintaining
the hardness of the Stainless Steel. The end result is a bearing
that is at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard
Stainless Steel bearings. |
|
- At least 10 times more corrosion resistant
than standardstainless steel ball bearings.
- Easy Maintenance-no shield design
allows for easy flushing of debris and easy lubrication.
- A-RB bearings are made of stainless
steel that has been through the A-RB process.
- Increased Bearing Speed-no shield
design and lighter viscosity lubrication reduce friction
and allow the bearing to spin faster and longer.
- A-RB Bearings are the result of S–Concept:
Smooth, Silent, and Strong.
